There’s no better way to enjoy the natural beauty of the Pennsylvania Wilds, a hike in the Pocono Mountains, or mountain biking in the Alleghenies than by camping in Pennsylvania.

Hersheypark Camping Resort

Hersheypark Camping Resort pairs the great outdoors with all of fun of “the sweetest place on earth.” The 300-site, full-service campground accommodates RVs and tents, and also has furnished log cabins. Camping resort guests receive discounted admission to Hersheypark, Hershey Gardens and The Hershey Story, and have access to a complimentary shuttle bus service to Hersheypark.

Allegheny National Forest

From the rugged beauty of Kinzua Dam and the blue waters of Allegheny Reservoir to the 200+ miles of scenic hiking trails, Allegheny National Forest is a camper’s paradise. Ten campgrounds are available for RV and tent camping. Dewdrop, Kiasutha, Red Bridge, Tracy Ridge, and Willow Bay campgrounds welcome trailers, motor homes, and tents, while the five other campgrounds are only reachable by hike or boat.

An astronomer’s dream, Cherry Springs State Park in Coudersport boasts some of the darkest skies and brightest stars on the Eastern Seaboard. The park has 30 campsites with picnic areas and is open from the second Friday in April through November.

Pocono Mountain Resorts

Otter Lake Camp Resort in Marshalls Creek and Mountain Vista Campground in East Stroudsburg provide traditional campground experiences while keeping each member of the family entertained with activities like racquetball, basketball, tennis, and swimming.

Raystown Lake Recreation Area

Raystown Lake Recreation Area supplies a variety of lodging options, including vacation homes, houseboats, bed and breakfasts, cabins, cottages, and resorts.

Woodland Campground

Clearfield County, host to five private properties, offers a wide array of facilities to meet every camper’s comfort level. Woodland Campground features a cabin, RV space, and tent sites, while the West Branch Susquehanna River is a favorite for canoers and kayakers.
